NielsenBainbridge Pre-Cut Mats

NielsenBainbridge 8-ply, archival mats are considered museum quality. They are made from 100% cotton rag with their patented Artcare ^TM technology, which actively protects your art, using a substance called Zeolite. The Zeolite absorbs environmental and chemical pollutants and keeps them from attacking your artwork. They are available in two different matboard colors and come with a 4-ply, archival backing board.

CLASSIC GALLERY WHITE

The Classic Gallery mats are done in a standard white, similar to Bainbridge Pearl White. It is not a bright white and looks good with most photographs and prints. The deep bevel that has been cut into each mat opening is dramatic and helps show your work to its best advantage. The white color runs clear through the mat, so the front of the mat, beveled opening and back of the mat are all the same color. Classic Gallery White mats are our most popular pre-cut mat. For far less than it would cost to get a custom mat of this quality, you get an archival, 8 ply mat withan archival 4 ply backing. It's a terrific buy!

BRIGHT WHITE WITH BLACK BEVEL

The Bright White mats are also 8 ply thick, with a white face and black middle. When you cut your opening in the mat, you get a crisp, deep, black bevel. The bright white matboard used is similar to the Bainbridge Spanish White with Sable core. They are priced the same as the Classic Gallery mats. Price is solely dependant on the outside size of the mat. You might consider using these mats where your picture has a very light perimeter and you want to add some edge definition to the photograph. We've found that, even using this type of mat board in a custom matting scenario, this matboard looks exceptionally good with brightly colored digital photos.
